Renee’s kitchenette was the first filipino restaurant I ever had in New York and safe to say its pretty good. The spot is a small cozy restaurant that has that familiar cozy southeast asian warm. The food was also amazing. I had the dinuguan which was a filipino blood stew(kinda like Schwarzsauer) and the barbecue was really good. The service was a bit slow but then again it was christmas time so it makes sense. Overall must try and highly recommended.

My family and I came here on 10/18/2025, arriving around 5:30 p.m. for dinner. The restaurant is quite small inside. They have high chairs available for babies, which is nice. The staff were friendly for the most part and seated us quickly.

My husband ordered the popular Mixed Grill, while my mom and I both ordered Goto. We also got Sizzling Sisig and Lumpiang Shanghai to share.

Two generous portions of garlic rice came out first, but they were a bit stale and not as warm as I would’ve liked. The flavor was bland and could’ve used more seasoning. The Goto was hot and tasted good overall although a bit more yellow than I’m used to. My mom commented that they probably used too much saffron, which explains the very yellow color.

The Mixed Grill looked mouthwatering when it arrived and it smelled great and looked even better. When my husband bit into the pork BBQ skewer, he said it was a bit tough and didn’t touch it again for the rest of our visit. We took the pork bbq stick and longanisa to go.

Fast forward to Sunday night: my husband wanted to have the leftover pork BBQ stick. As he sliced the meat off the skewer to reheat it in the oven, he suddenly called me over in shock. The inside of the pork BBQ was completely raw–not just under cooked, but raw throughout the entire skewer. My jaw dropped. I’ve never encountered anything like that before. I’ve posted pictures so everyone can see how obvious it is that it’s raw inside.

My husband wasn’t feeling good the night we came home from Renee’s and now we know why. He had taken a bite of the contaminated pork bbq skewer. Thankfully, his symptoms didn’t worsen and he didn’t get more severely ill.

We decided to contact the restaurant because this is completely unacceptable. Serving raw pork is a serious food safety issue, and the staff needs to be made aware so they can address whoever is responsible for grilling. Someone could become severely ill if this happens again.

When I called a few days later, I was told there was no manager available, apparently they’re only in on Mondays. The staff I spoke with didn’t seem to care or show any real concern. They offered to replace the food, but since we don’t live locally, that wasn’t a realistic solution. There was no apology, no offer to refund the platter, and no gesture of goodwill for new customers who had such a disappointing first experience.

My husband’s family owns a restaurant, and I’ve worked in the food industry myself. It’s a normalized practice to comp or refund items when a mistake like this happens. While I understand it’s ultimately up to management, in this case, even a partial refund would have been more than appropriate. We were served raw meat, the entire skewer was unsafe to eat. It’s frightening to think what could have happened if we’d fed that to our baby instead of the pork belly.

What bothers me most is the complete lack of concern. The fact that their kitchen served this, and they didn’t even apologize or try to make it right, or even say they would address this with their team, says a lot about their priorities. If we wanted to spend over $100 for raw meat, we could have gone to the grocery store instead.

It’s hard to find Kapampangan cuisine, and I really wanted to like Renee’s. But after this experience, I can’t recommend it. If you do decide to go, avoid the grilled items or make sure to cut into your meat before eating. Don’t take a blind bite because you will risk getting food poisoning. I’ve gone ahead and also reported this incident to 311. I take food safety seriously and just because we were lucky not to get severely ill, the next customer might not be so lucky.

We won’t be returning. I can’t support or give money to establishments that don’t care for the safety of their own customers. I’m not trying to intentionally hurt this business but they need to do better. We make mistakes, but it’s how we fix them that matters.

The atmosphere here is very home-y and friendly! The food was so fresh and savory, I ordered the Chicken Adobo and Beef Kaldereta (with white rice on the side). I highly recommend if you want to experience Filipino food cooked with love. 🙂

If you want the good old traditional filipino food that your Titas/Titos or Lola/lolo or child hood food your mom/dad made this is the place to go. Soon as I walked in it felt like I was in a family kitchen and knew the food was good.

I got the Bbq platter, garlic rice and sinigang! So much food at a reasonable price! Highly suggest this place!

Fantastic! Definitely get the bbq sampler for $30. Large portion of delicious meats. Also enjoyed tender chicken adobo silog and a not-too-sweet ube shake!

My fiancé and I stepped into Renee’s for a quick meal before he headed to the airport and had a great experience! The longsilog was delicious (and growing up in a Filipino household, reminded me of the breakfasts my parents made me growing up). Service was friendly & efficient. Would come here again!

Situated in Little Manila woodside, this Filipino restaurant serve delicious foods. We went there last week and ordered sinigang na baboy, steamed pompano, kare kare and sisig. The price is reasonable.

Great spot serving all the Filipino classics. I went with a favorite: kaldereta. The beef was tender and the sauce was very tasty. I also needed to order some pork BBQ. First, they were huge and, second, they were also delicious! Definitely heading back for more next time in the neighborhood.

Quiet and unassuming spot. Planned to eat merienda and was surprised with how big the servings were. The taste is spot on— it brings you lots of childhood memories (much like that nostalgic scene at that Pixar movie, Ratatouille)

Tables and chairs can be updated but the vibe is truly Pinoy. Reminds you of a school cafe in your old Filipino university.

Yesterday, I went to “Renee’s Kitchenette & Grill,” located at 69-14 Roosevelt Ave in Woodside, NY, which is a delightful spot that transports diners to the heart of Filipino culinary traditions. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, reflecting the essence of Filipino hospitality. The menu offers a diverse selection of traditional dishes that highlight the rich flavors of the Philippines. Diners rave about the adobo, which is perfectly balanced with savory and slightly tangy notes, and the sinigang, known for its comforting and sour broth. The lechon kawali, crispy on the outside and tender inside, is also a crowd favorite.Portion sizes are generous, making it a great place for sharing with friends or family. The service is generally attentive and friendly, adding to the welcoming charm of the restaurant.In addition to the main dishes, don’t miss out on the desserts. Traditional sweets like halo-halo or leche flan provide a perfect finish to your meal. Overall, “Renee’s Kitchenette & Grill” offers a satisfying dining experience with authentic flavors, making it a must-visit for both Filipino food lovers and newcomers eager to explore. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick lunch or a leisurely dinner, you’re sure to leave with a full belly and a happy heart. #filipinofood #onlyinqueens
